Verified record
Cicchetti Construction is a Saugus general contractor whose written record is thin and now well over a decade old — three reviews, from 2012 and 2014, split between strong praise and a detailed complaint. Two 2012 reviews describe good experiences: one customer described the contractor running into a lead-remediation certification gap mid-project and going through state coursework to get properly certified rather than skip the requirement, calling the finished work amazing; a second simply said the finished project was handled well and matched exactly what was asked for. The 2014 review tells a different story. That customer described the job falling behind schedule, the contractor disappearing for several days mid-project, an attempt to renegotiate the already-contracted price upward by more than $15,000 unrelated to any change in scope, concrete poured in January cold that later cracked, and warranty calls that went unreturned. Neither Angi nor HomeAdvisor lists a license number for the business, and the company's own FAQ on Angi states it does not offer warranties — worth asking about directly, especially given the 2014 account of unreturned warranty calls. Given how old and how limited the written record is, anyone considering Cicchetti today should treat both the praise and the complaint as history rather than a current read, and confirm licensing, warranty terms and references directly before signing a contract.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Cicchetti Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Started out great, ended up BAD-- our favorite was when-a few months in and behind schedule-- Robert disappeared for a few days, and on return, told us that he had decided to drive to Florida, and made it to NJ before realizing it was a bad idea. Wait, no, it might have been when Robert tried to renegotiate contracted prices (NOT for extra/revised work) and asserted some crazy math that tacked on more than $15,000 due to that screwy math (and not the changing prices, etc.). On the plus side, we loved one of the subs he hired (Ed, the MA licensed Construction Supervisor from E & H Construction in JP), and we began working with Ed after Robert finished his contract (late, with shoddier work as time went on). Robert's contract included a warranty, but Robert never returned my calls when I started to see cracks in some of his cement-work (which he poured on one of the 10-degree days in January 2013, despite my concerns).
Well, it went wonderfully. I started a project in the house. I ran into a lead issue. He wasn't actually certified to work in lead remediation, but he went and GOT certified. He had to go through the state and take courses to get certified. The work that he does is amazing, I am very pleased. I highly recommend him.
I am so happy with finished project. He was on the ball with everything. He did exactly everything I wanted.
